Informative and flowed very well, pun intended. - I can't remember our guides name (sorry!) but she was from Washington and studied geology. Extremely knowledgeable and stayed behind to answer all of our questions. The flow of the show was very good with some history and a personal story that invoked emotional attachment to the area. The cafe was also good, they should advertise the black bread bowls more, a wonderful addition making it appear like a volcanic rock.

Fun show! - Great 45 minute show. A little history at the beginning, a short video, then the lava demonstration. Seems every seat has a good view.

Amazing and informative experience! - Seeing the actual lava up close and how it reacts to certain conditions and forms is pretty amazing. Very interesting and informative show about volcanoes & lava in Iceland.

Great show, must see. - Loved this show! We booked the 5pm on our south coat road trip, when realised there was two locations, I’m so pleased we booked the one in Vik as I honestly cannot imagine a better host, he was great.
Everything about the show was good, so informative and visually stunning! The heat from the lava is something else.
Must do!!

Very fun and exciting - We had a young host from Norway that made this show amazing, like a standup show, but still very packed with interesting facts. Unfortunately I did not remember his name but I highly recommend.

Totally worth it - I assumed this was a hokey tourist trap. But I was wrong. It was actually really impressive, entertaining, educational, and funny. Doesn't take long either. Probably not a "must see"but I would recommend, very cool experience.
